Best vegetables for dogs or suitable vegetables for dogs

Before you get into our list of the best vegetables for dogs, we need to tell you something about how to properly prepare vegetables for dogs . If you are preparing vegetables for a regular BARF dose, do not forget to always grate or blend them into the smallest possible pieces .

Grated vegetables are also easier to accept even the biggest canine picker, because you simply hide them in the minced meat.

Vegetables are also great for being non-fatty. If your dog easily gains weight from everything, you can easily give him small pieces of carrot instead of dog treats .
